(Intro):
|
1996. (Soul Food).
|
Eightball and MJG, Goodie Mob, Crazy C
|
Bringing the Soul Food straight to you.
|
Sit down and get yourself a plate.
|
|
(Sample):
|
"Get a plate of soul food, chicken rice and gravy."
|
|
(Verse 1):
|
(T-Mo):
|
My old boy from the Point. But I'm from Southwest
|
And every now and then I get put to the test
|
But I can't be stopped, 'cause I gotta come true
|
Ain't go no gun. But I got my crew
|
Didn't come fo' no beef cause I don't eat steak
|
I got a plate of soul food chicken, rice and gravy,
|
Not covered in too much. Drinking a cup of punch-
|
Tropical-every last Thursday of the month
|
|
(Big Gipp):
|
Daddy put the hot grits on my chest in the morning
|
When I was sick, Mary had the hot soup boiling
|
Didn't know why, but it felt so good
|
Like some waffles in that morning
|
Headed back to the woods
|
Now I'm full as tick. Got some soul on blast in the cassette
|
Food for my brain. I haven't stopped learning yet
|
Hot wings from Mo-Joes. Got my forehead sweating
|
Celery and blue cheese on my menu next
|
|
(Koujo)
|
Southern Fry won't allow my body to lie still
|
Tied face goons surround me like cancer
|
Drill me with second-hand obstacles
|
But, only to make matters worse
|
Plus, I'm getting pimped by this temp lady Jackie
|
From Optima: staffing figure. Laughing
|
Shut up clown. Don't talk to me like that
|
Looking stupid of course. Living day by day
|
And you ain't hard trick? Hell you say?
|
|
(Cee-lo)
|
It's such a blessing when my eyes get to see the sun rise
|
I'm ready to begin
|
Another chance to get further away from where I've been
|
But I'll never forget
|
Every thing I went through, I appreciate the shit
|
Because if I had of went and took the easy way,
|
I wouldn't be the strong nigga that I am today
|
Every thing that I did, different things I was told,
|
Just ended up being food for my soul
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Come and get yo' soul food, well well
|
Good old-fashioned soul food, all right
|
Everythang is for free
|
As good as it can be
|
Come and get some soul food
|
|
(Koujo)
|
Sunday morning where you eating at?
|
I'm on 1365 Wichita Drive.
|
Old Bird working the stove right?
|
Church's dripping chicken in yesterday's grease
|
Didn't go together with this quart of Mickey's
|
Last night hanging over from a good time
|
Yeah, beef is cheaper,
|
But it's pumped with "red dye" between two pieces of bread
|
Shawty look good with them hairy legs
|
Wish I could cut her up, but my stomach come before sex
|
A house full of hoes. Now what's the ingredient:
|
Spaghetti, plus her monthly flow
|
|
(T-Mo):
|
They know they making it hard on the yard
|
Fuck Chris Darden! Fuck Marsha Clark!
|
Taking us when we're in the spotlight for a joke
|
Changing by the day. I see it's getting bigger in my square
|
Looking at Lenox from the outside
|
With a stare. No money to go inside
|
Tameka and Tiffany outside tripping and skipping rope
|
to the beats from my jeep
|
As I speak, "Whats up" from the driver seat
|
|
(Cee-lo)
|
A heaping helping of fried chicken,
|
macaroni and cheese and collard greens
|
Too big for my jeans
|
Smoke steams from under the lid that's on the pot
|
Ain't never had a lot. But thankful for the little that I got
|
Why not be? Fast food got me feeling sick
|
Them crackers think they slick
|
By tryin to make this bullshit affordable
|
I thank the Lord that my voice was recordable
|
for soul food
|
|
Come an get your soul food well well..
|
|
(Big Gipp)
|
Hold up C. It's what I write
|
And Miss Lady, acting like we in jail
|
Says she ain't got no extra hush puppies to sell
|
Bankhead Seafood making me hit that door with a mind full of attitude
|
It was a line at the Beautiful
|
JJ'S Ribshack was packed too
|
Looking to be one of them days when mama ain't cooking
|
Everybody's out hunting with the family
|
Looking for a little soul food
|
|
(Chorus):
|
Come and get yo' soul food, well well
|
Good old-fashioned soul food, all right
|
Everythang is for free
|
As good as it can be
|
Come and get some soul food
|
|
(MJG):
|
I got the fever for some ham hocks
|
Hit the spot with hot spaghetti
|
| Some Kool Aid with three or four rolls a |
